Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Dead?

There are conflicting reports about the death of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, mostly from people speculating on Twitter. As of now, we have NO evidence that he is deceased, and it should be assumed, as of 6:19 EST that he is alive.

Here is more information on him. From Boston:
Rarely do you get to see into the mind of a suspected killer, especially on the day that he kills.

But thanks to Twitter, now we do.

@J_tsar appears to be the Twitter handle of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Marathon bombing suspect still at large. Instead of a picture, there is the head of a lion. I found this account by talking to a former high school classmate of his. If you scroll through his followers, most are teenagers expressing disbelief and even loyalty to him. One declares “they refer to him as a terrorist. I can’t deal.”

Some of Tsarnaev’s tweets are normal teenager tweets. Four days before the marathon, he retweeted what appears to be lyrics from a 50 Cent song “Autta Control.” We aint come here to start no drama. We just loking for our future baby mamas.”

Then, on Marathon Monday, after the blasts, at 7:04 p.m., he tweeted: “Ain’t no love in the heart of the city, stay safe people.”

At 10:13 p.m. the day of the blast: LOL Those people are cooked.
